No, because the thickness of the fiber may be so small it just goes down your throat, just like all that dust around your house from clothing fibers floating around.

We gladly swallow booger material throughout the day that comes up from our lungs and down from our noses, and this has these same floating fibers in it.

Yum!

I trust Agir pour l’Environment about like I trust Biden's staff, Macron's boyfriend or Castro's son. I mean, if you can't trust math stricken trust fund kiddies to understand the concept of a micron and a quarter of an inch, and their relationship, then whom shall one trust? And when I see that Orbmedia is part of the Trust Project (for socialist media partners), why then, it all makes sense. The whole story of little more than a push poll.

Who gives a crap?

I have been drinking this stuff since whenever. I may die tomorrow. I may die in ten years. Or twenty. Neither of my parents lived past their mid Seventies, and I am approaching that. I guess if I get past that, I will have beaten some kind of odds.

I am sick of living in a country of pussies that are so afraid of germs, peanuts, sunlight, mosquitoes, ticks, climate change...water, that they want to regulate everything to the point we won’t be able to move.

I don’t know how people can live their lives like frightened rabbits. I find it disgusting and pathetic.

A human in a hermetically sealed bubble is a safe human, but that is not what humans are for.

Berkey Water Filters...Made in Texas. For 50 years or so.
Cheaper than bottled water, gets out way more than commercial filters.
Thank me later.

Or people like me just decide not to drink polluted water. There's choices to be made.

If you are drinking something with 5 millimeter ......

```````````````````````````````````````````````

For the metric impaired, such as myself, 5mm is roughly 1/5 of an inch..

yep, you would definitely know it.

I’d like to see the data in support of the statement that we ingest the equivalent of a credit card each week.....perhaps in a lifetime or half a lifetime.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Thanks to “metmom” for alerting on this. The study referenced was one I could not find previously posted.

You could do something like

Companies add ozone to water before bottling. I think water low in minerals absorbs plastic from containers. Water with ozone absorbs more plastic than water low in minerals.

Some people have ozonators. You could store rain water in a glass container. Weigh the water.

Add ozone to the water and move it to a plastic container. Let it react. Weigh the water.

For a mental exercise, I could pretend I’m poor and want to have cheap water that tastes good.

That’s fine.

Filter your water. Distill it yourself. De-ionize it yourself. Store it and drink it in glass containers. Treat it with bleach. Boil it.

Drink it or not.

Get hit by a bus tomorrow or don’t.

I am sick of the bloody fear mongering in every single aspect of every corner of life.

“I think water low in minerals absorbs plastic from containers.”

By what mechanism?

“Water with ozone absorbs more plastic than water low in minerals.”

Again, by what mechanism? Please supply a scientific theory that supports that claim.
